Listen, I know this looks like it's kinda teen angsty, and I get that...but as a Trek nerd I'm still into it...I think the USS Athena looks gorgeous as a ship, I love that Picardo is back as the EMH Doctor, and ADORE Tig Notaro (so she's a bonus), and lastly, I realize I'm gilfing it up by saying this, but 67 years old Holly Hunter is still STUNNING and I am not afraid to admit my crush...

David Ellison[...] bought Paramount over the summer and appears to be creating a right-wing media ecosystem dominated by the Trumps. [...] Paramount told Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders they should accept its offer because Trump would never allow the Netflix deal to happen, and [...] Trump appeared yesterday to agree with that suggestion.
The Paramount merger gave Ellison control of CBS, which promptly turned rightward. At stake now is CNN, which Netflix doesn't particularly want but Paramount does, either to neuter it or turn it into another version of Fox News. [...] Ellison told Trump he would make "sweeping changes" to CNN if Paramount acquires Warner Bros. Discovery. The Wall Street Journal reporters note that "Trump has told people close to him that he wants new ownership of CNN as well as changes to CNN programming."

And buying Warner would give them the film rights for Superman and Batman. Trump loves posting memes of himself as Superman. He's called himself Batman. So is America ready for MAGA Superman (Supertrump? Homelander as the unironic racist fascist hero?) and Trump as Batman (the Movie)?
